They probably see us "Christians" occupying their lands, using our power to get cheap oil, and killing their people by the thousands. Maybe if if our Christian nation set a better example, they would welcome us in at some point. If we were in their shoes, I doubt we would want to convert either.

The image of Islam is that of a cavedwelling madman in Pakistan, willing to kill at the slightest movement without provocation. It is not the image of the peaceful Al-Ghazali, preaching spiritual refinement to meet God. Moderates will be overrun by radicals if moderates don't become more active. |
